Treasure Chest Blog Hop

WELCOMEto the Stamp TV CSS DT ANIMAL KINGDOM CHALLENGE blog hop. There were 33 StampTV animal stamp sets on thelist to choose from and you can imagine how difficult it was to choose which set(s) to play with for this hop.

If you've come from the very talented Carolina's blog, you're in the right place. If not, then we invite you to go to the beginningof the hop and see all of the fabulous animal kingdom creations

As you go through this hop, be sure to leave a comment on each blog as you hop along. On Tuesday morning, March 1, we will randomly choose one of the comments from all of the blogs and that person will win a StampTV stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95.

I made two cards for this hop:

I wanted to create an interesting back ground as a view through a window for the cute giraffe from Melanie Muenchinger's stamp set, "Just so Hippy", so I used Distress Inks and the rainbow technique. The grass and the branches were from "Hang in There" by Theresa Momber. I colored the giraffe with Copics. E00, E33 and E57. CS GK PL "Ivory" and "Tan Leather". The DP paper I used as a frame is from Basic Grey "Pyrus".

Here is my second card

Details: CS GK PL White, Lemon Drop and Fresh Asparagus. I stitched DP from Basic Grey "Origins" onto the Fresh Asparagus panel then layered it on the Lemon Drop layer that I had stamped a bouquet from the same stamp set with Vivid Lemon Ice ink. All the images on this card are from the stamp set by Theresa Momber called "Purr-fectly Delightful". I colored the kitty with Copic markers, E00, E30, E43, W3, YR14, Y36 and YG17. The cup was colored with YG91 and G94 and cut it out with Nestabilities Round Scalloped die. I finished it off with white satin ribbon and Prima Flowers.Now hop on over to the very talented Deb Felt's blog and see her fantastic creation. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

oh these are both darling!! I love the background technique you did for hippy and the little spatters make it look so artsy! the colored spots on the giraffe are a perfect match for the DP! That kitten card is one of the cutest I've seen with that set! :)

Cheri, your cards are precious. I love the scene behind the giraffe. And your kitty card is perfect with the flower accents. I also thought it cute that your kitty card is next to the picture of you stamp buddy in your sidebar. Every card definitely needs some cat love. :0)

Fabulous job on both of the cards! I love how you combined the sets on the first card...they look like they were made for each other! The colors and the background are stunning! I also love how you put the second card together. The color you chose to stamp on the small postion of the background is fabulous! Great choice! The coloring is awesome on both cards!

The giraffe looks like he's about to step out of the jungle and onto the savannah! Fantastic. The kitten on your second card is one of my favorite all time images and your coloring is stupendous! Love both of them.

I don't know where to go to see who is the winner of the wonderful stamp set for doing this Animal Kingdom hop. Please let me know--I've looked all over for the list of winners. Who knows, I might be there . I've always love that cute giraffe, and you've chosen some really nice colors. I like the touch of twine as well.

About Me

I'm a sixty "something" boomer who saw a handmade card one day and thought "WOW! I want to do that". Sooooo, here I am. (Secret) When I was a little girl, paper dolls were my favorite toy; I must have had hundreds of them and I used to cut the models out of my mother's old catalogs and make clothes for them with some other pages from the ladies clothing photos.
I married a Maine (iac) man and now live here in the beautiful state of Maine, however, I was born and raised in the beautiful Adirondacks of NYS. I'm devoted to my wonderful husband, my kids and my grandchildren. I'm blessed in so many ways and I count my blessings every day.
